Primary 1 have had a brilliant start to their Fitness Fortnight!

This morning we went on a trip to Craigswood Xcite Leisure Centre.

It was amazing! We had 7 different activities set up for us, and the trainers were very helpful.

We experienced shot-put, using basketballs before using REAL shotput balls!!

We tried the javelin. This was very tricky.

We tried the high jump and the long jump (I think we brought back most of the sand!)

We had a go at wellie throwing.

We had a hoop game, and we had races. We were all super fast, but eventually we got our boy and girl winners. We even got prizes!!

We had a really fab time!

Then, this afternoon, we took part in our daily mile. We are enjoying it a lot more and are finding it easier now. We are even trying to run more and more of it.

Then we had some team building games.

We had a hoop game – we had to get the hoop around the circle, without letting go of each others hands. This was quite tricky, but Mrs Baty & Mrs Gaffney’s team seemed to get the hang of it very quickly.

We then had some wheelbarrow races. Most of us went in the right direction! This was great fun though.

Finally, we played a game with a ball. We stood in a row in our team, and had to pass the ball along the line in a pattern. We were quite good at this, but rather tired by this point.

Overall, we had a fantastic day! (and what great weather it was too!)

Hopefully we’ll all sleep very well tonight, and be ready for more adventures tomorrow.
